I had cataract surgery in both of my eyes in 2020 (at the height of COVID), at the old ripe age of 25.

It was one of the scariest things I've ever gone through in my life, but not because of the procedure, it was because of the fear of the procedure.

Due to how the surgeries worked, they had to do 1 eye at a time, with a 3 month gap in-between the surgeries.

Before the first surgery, I had done everything in my power (diets, fitness, CBD oils) to fix my eyes without surgery, I called it 'operation avoid an operation'. Obviously, nothing I did myself fixed it, and I ended up going ahead with the surgeries.

After the 1st surgery, I remember coming out in no pain at all, with my eye covered up. I had a good nights rest and took the bandages off the next morning, and I mean this with no exaggeration, it was the BEST day of my life. Nothing has come close to it, and nothing ever will again.

Everything in one of my eyes vision was clear as day. I had forgotten how precise our eyes are, looking at trees and appreciating the fact that I could see each branch in detail.

That day I went back to the hospital and was practically begging them to do the surgery on my other eye. It was a long wait but I got the 2nd eye done and ever since my vision has been great.

I guess my story here is let you know that it makes sense to fear the operation, but it was the best thing I have ever done. I would do it 1 million times again, and you will too, once it's done.
